iHeartMedia has hired Jessamyn McIntyre to serve as its assistant program director for the company’s Seattle sports station, KJR (93.3 FM).
McIntyre will report to Rich Moore, the senior vice president of programming at iHeartMedia in Seattle and neighboring Portland.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Jessamyn join our team and help our KJR sports platforms,” Moore said in a statement. “Her tremendous experience and great knowledge of the market will help us grow even stronger.”
McIntyre will be responsible for supporting all aspects of KJR’s on-air experiences and strategic off-air executions.
“I am beyond thrilled to return to the work I’ve been so passionate about my entire career,” McIntyre said on Tuesday. “I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity and for the many more to come with the Seattle institution that is KJR. More than anything, I am excited to connect with the passionate sports fans in Seattle once again. See you soon.”
McIntyre’s hiring by iHeartMedia returns her to the broadcasting industry. She joins from the Washington State Department of Health, where she worked in an executive communications role.
Her background also includes work as an executive producer for Seattle Fox station KCPQ (Channel 13) and KIRO-AM (710 AM, ESPN). She began her career at ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, and has degrees in Sports Journalism and English.
